A plant hormone that stimulates cell division to grow roots, fruits, and branches
Real World Example
Imagine you're trying to organize a messy room, where you need to put things in order, decide what to keep, and find the right places for everything. Just like organizing the room, cytokinin in plants helps manage growth by stimulating cell division to develop roots, fruits, and branches in an orderly way. In this analogy, the messy room represents the plant's potential for growth, and cytokinin acts like your planning and organizing efforts, directing where and how new growth should occur to create a well-structured plant, just as you would create a tidy living space.
